Newbie here introducing myself!

Hello! I'm Ángel and I'm brand spankin' new to the community although I've been growing out my hair for about 8 years at this point(I think)

I never really had a goal in mind other than simply wanting long hair, mostly because I grew up with 3 sisters and a mother who all had long hair and I just wanted to fit in lol. Now here I am with the longest hair in my family without much effort.

A little more context about me, I am 21(soon to be 22), I study ecology (& some botany) at a small liberal arts college and I have curly dark brown waist length hair with fairy tale ends. I don't do much in terms of hair care other than avoiding brushing my hair as it is curly and prone to breakage regardless of what I try, as well as following a loose wash schedule of washing every 3-5 depending on the state of my roots as I tend to get a lot of oil buildup on my roots which doesn't look very appealing. My hair usually looks terrible on wash day as it dries frizzy and shapeless but by the second water only wash it is restored to its curly bouncy glory. I'd love to learn more about hair care and what I should and shouldn't do in terms of caring for my own hair.
